Socialtext Mobile now available for Android devices

A application called Socialtext Mobile is now available on Android devices and other platforms. The app allows users to access a Twitter-style micro blogging tool Socialtext offers and users can browse their contacts and activities as well.

The app is aimed at business users on the go that need to be able to share and collaborate on documents and other content while out of the office. The app is currently in beta status and competes with IBM MindTouch and Jive Software.

Businesses wanting to try the service can download a free version called Socialtext Free 50 that includes the mobile wiki app for up to 50 users within the business. The full app also has upgraded widgets to let users view and post Signals to multiple networks and filter activity streams by people, event, and activity.
